Your double stun got readded today. Are you all happy now?

[Heallarant]

Seems like you didnt understand something quite important, the video you've used isn't about a summoner getting grabbed and using this moonlight skill on the destroyer, it's actualy the destroyer grabbing someone and a summoner is attacking the grabbed person. It's a skill common to all classes now except that it has different visual effects and maybe different damages I'm not sure about that.

Is that real!? Where is your source? Don't crush my hope, mate! -3-

[MonkeyDRuffy]

A clan member told me that Summoner would become in PVE more powerful because of new HM Skills, but the playstyle would become more difficult.

@n_nattia @HibbidyHublah @kynriin Yes it's important to keep in mind that these are test server changes

[YamiKokennin]

PLEASE! Keep the double stun! It's my life savor besides the double daze dammit!

 

Another question: So Huzzah! skill (Z), I have to pick either heal the cat or heal the party? If so, that's a bit shitty. I wish I can just heal the entire party (cat included) with 1 branch...........

 

And thumbs up for the cat can escape phantom grip :3 Me likey!

because of Jonathan's response...it makes me feel like it may get reverted back to 1 stun since it's still in Test environment

Just now, QRob said:

jonathan was just empowering the other guy's statement. (" Also they aren't yet to be on -its just on the test server  ")

in my opinion:  it was double stun, but they changed it for 1stun, then they reverted it back to double stun. i dont think they r gonna revert it back to one stun again, yet it can happen anyway, since it's under testing.

I hope they keep it that way :3

Thanks for the info. I don't follow KR progress so I do not know that.

How do you play Rumblebees build, is there any recommended guides/builds for it? If Korea got it already, I doubt we'll be far behind.

on next content patch we should get this balance patch.

Yes, but how do you play it? I've unlocked the HM Rumblebees, and tried to swap to Rumblebees from the Sunflower in order to prepare myself for the change, and it was an unmitigated disaster. Does Rumblbees simply replace Sunflower once it gets buffed, the same way? Or is there something else I need to do to be successful with it?  Should I beg the clan for the HM pill to unlock the LMB HM ASAP? I started buffing my crit rate, brought it up to 52%, should I go higher so Rumblebees cast faster or instantly?  Should I wait till the change over to swap to Rumblebees? Try it now? Will the char become totally unplayable with Rumblebees? I stopped upgrading him for now.

[RainbowDashie]

Wait till change, cause F2 and 3 have cast time atm, but with this patch it will go instant. Also other skills will push bees better with this patch.

LMB would be realy nice to get for more bees.

[Gamer4ever]

if you want to test or get used to the bee's now, get your crit rate as high as you can, min 50% (but the higher the better) along with getting your crit dmg to 200% (again higher the better). Id recommend prioritizing crit rate slightly above crit dmg

 

do NOT use form 2 of bees, that's more pvp than pve.

You can use form 3, it's stronger, but slower and more focus hungry and has a cd if your fail to crit

use the form 1 version and just hold that RMB

 

HM LMB, i find isn't required for bees, but it helps.

HM LMB helps more so if your using sunflower, it almost made me want to switch to sunflower as my default build.

 

you can also spec your cat out of taunt to give you focus and spec E to reset Q, so you should have ample focus to spam bees between doom & bloom

[MiauCrime]

Nice, our class is complete garbage now.

Actually if you know how to play it, its not garbage at all, in fact its in the top 3 dps wise and pvp wise.

[Jackiesaysya]

ya im not too thrilled with the upcoming changes. seems like lvl1-45 we were op. then as soon as you hit 50 and get hm skills we kind of blow compared to other classes. Good time to start leveling alts up.
